On Terminated status?

Terminated status means that you are no longer allowed to continue in your current course due to not achieving satisfactory course progress. It is important that you take prompt action to explore your options and the support services that are available.

Option 2: Accept the decision and take a break from study. You can apply for readmission into a course in which you have been terminated from by contacting the relevant admitting area – view Curtin’s FAQ page for further information.

Option 3: Apply for a new course at Curtin or an alternative institution.

Option 2: Accept the decision and do not continue your course. This will result in the Department of Home Affairs (Australian Government) being notified that you have ceased studying which has implications for your visa.

For international students on a student visa, being terminated from your course also has other consequences. If you do not submit a Request for Review or if your Request for Review and any subsequent appeal options are unsuccessful you will be reported to the Department of Home Affairs (Australian Government). This may lead to the cancellation of your student visa, meaning you may have to go back to your home country and risk being excluded from returning to Australia on all visas for three years.

How do I appeal my Terminated status?

There may have been factors outside of your control that impacted on your studies. If this is the case you can request a review of the decision for your Terminated status. You will only be able to return to your course if your Request for Review or any subsequent appeals are successful.

You will need to submit your Request for Review in writing (including documents to support your claim) to Examinations and Progression Management within 20 working days of being notified of your Terminated status. Ensure you read the Official Communication sent to you from Examinations and Progression Management – these communications are generally sent when final results are officially published to students.

All students are considered enrolled until the final outcome of the Request for Review and Appeal process. Students are still able to enrol in units for the next study period and attend classes until a final outcome is reached.
